The Monroe
County Historical Society has sponsored, compiled and published
Monroe County, Missouri Then and Now: 1831 – 2006 in
commemoration of the county's 175th Anniversary in 2006.
Our purpose
is to preserve the story of life in Monroe County for the education
and enjoyment of future generations. We have a great story to
tell about our earliest settlements, the peak population of
1900, survival during the Great Depression, the impact of technological,
social and economic changes after W.W.II and the changes our
small rural communities face in the high tech world of the 21st
Century.
Thanks
to everyone who worked very hard contacting current and former
residents, we have 500 family profiles in the updated history
book. There were 317 profiles in the 1884
History of Monroe County. Our general history section has
even more information specific to our county than did the 1884
History, plus photos.
In the
years to come, Monroe County...Then and Now will undoubtedly
be in as much demand as the limited edition 1884 History of
Monroe and Shelby Counties, now online at the Monroe
and Shelby
County MOGenWeb sites, the 1913 History of Northeast Missouri
(index
and Monroe
Co. article), and the few other books that chronicle our
early years.
